Nothing great, just ok. If you go during the day watch out for the constant kicking of your seat and talking of ...5 and 6 year old kids. Ugh!
Absolutely amazing. Filled in the Star Wars timeline and answered a lot of unanswered questions. Would highly recommend to anyone who loves the Star Wars franchise, or to just anyone who likes to go see a great movie!
Boring. These knock off Star Wars pictures do not compete with the originals. The first hour was a sleeper, in fact a man behind me fell asleep. It was confusing, disjointed, very bad \i could have walked out anytime, that's how bad it was. Cash grabs.
Disappointed! I was expecting more!
Had HC won the EC votes to be the president-elect, this film would've seamlessly settled into the fabric of American History. Rightfully, the story calls attention to our age of political/military/economic-blocs--with Brazil and Russia ostracized from Lucas's BRIC and India and China caving...I guess. Nevertheless, hearing (and seeing) an aged Darth Vader brought charisma to the screen...worth every second...maybe this Star Wars got "choked on its own ambitions." DV
I loved this movie, it's right up there with Empire Strikes Back. Much better than The Force Awakens for sure. Sorry J J!!
it was OK but not great
This movie was great I prefer this one a lot
Love most of the Star Wars movies. Liked the way this movie filled in another piece of the overall story line. Not the greatest one of the movies but certainly not the worst, was worth going to see.
A few wake me up spots,mostly boring...
Not much story/plot. Mostly boring!
boring and tedious. Couldn't wait for it to be over. Shoot this. Shoot with a bigger gun. Blow this up. very little plot, not worth the money. designed for nothing but mindless violence. Other Star Wars movies were good. This is a waste of time.
I didn't think the movie was needed..but it was quite good. and the movie ties into a new hope. Very creative and stuck to the star wars ideas!
Thought this movie was fantastic tie into the original trilogy. As a Star Wars fan (minus the 2nd trilogy and anything JarJar Binks related) it actually finally made the destruction of the original death star make sense. However, my two younger teenage daughters were bored and did not appreciate what older fans such as me did. 5 stars from me, 2.5 from them. Lucky my review is what counts.
The movie was slow and not very interesting until the grand battle which was incredible.
Finally a Star Wars movie worthy of following the first three movies released in the 70's and 80's. Thank you to all who made this movie! This movie will last for centuries like the originals. The travelers.;)
Terrible...just war, and destruction.
Hard to believe anyone agreed to launch this movie under the Star Wars brand.... terrible
I am old enough to have waited in line to see the original Star Wars movies so many years ago. I think that this franchise has more than run its course. The new movies jump back and forth in the space/time continuum so much that it is hard to maintain a coherent plot line. The original movie was a perfect balance of visual excitement, dark drama, and humour but the subsequent episodes have lost virtually all the funny moments, most of the originality, and many of the characters that we all learned to love and hate so passionately. This particular episode is just relentlessly bleak with endless fight scenes superimposed upon dark and dirty murkiness. I was bored and actually angry that I had bought into what is looking more and more like a blatant attempt to milk the franchise for every last penny. Don't go.
Great movie, enjoyable, some of the dialogue funny, comedic, some mumbled, indistinct.
wow!!!
Love the movie and the story time. Connects the ending with the beginning of the New Hope. Darth Vader apereance was great. The recreation of the three actors were well done. One who died in 1994. Great job. The younger Princess Leia. They used a younger actress but they did some modifications. One of the pilots who died years ago. I think was red pilot. I am glad I was able to watch out spoilers. I think the people who are given lower rate to this movie are the ones who want to boycott the movie for lol. I went to watch this movie twice. In 3D the movie looks much better.
This movie sucked it was basically them preparing for battle against the Death Star
Good movie, but the first 2/3rds didn't feel like a Star Wars movie.
It's the worst movie I have ever seen, I walked out early . Seeing the box office figures $155 mill ? I think this is the epitome of the American intellect.
I thought it was great best Star Wars movie ever made definetly worth the movie I will watch this a lot it was great
I am a fan of all the Star Wars movies. This was good, but not great. Very overly hyped.. fairly slow with great action scenes. Forrest Whitaker was lame at best, for the whole 5 secs he was in the movie. Worth a watch, but for no real valid reasons unless you're a fan.
As a fan of all of the films, (yep, prequels included) I enjoyed this movie. Found it to be well done. Some key information made an important part of A New Hope more plausible for me. Will be seeing this a few more times! Now hurry up Episode VIII
I went to the theater excited to watch Rogue One, and... meh. Plenty of action, some of the secondary characters (especially the robot and the two Asian fighters) were interesting, amazing special effects, but there were some things I didn't like. In particular, I felt that the two lead characters just were not that sympathetic or exciting - I didn't really have any empathy for them. After reading all the glowing comments from various reviews, I felt a wee bit let down. If I were to choose between watching 'Rogue One' or 'The Force Awakens', I'd rather watch 'Force Awakens' because despite its many flaws, I find its two lead characters a lot more interesting. They have some banter and camaraderie that simply doesn't exist in 'Rogue One'. I found it 'Rogue One' was entertaining, and was certainly better than the three Lucas prequels, so I'd give it maybe a 3.5 out of 5 stars if I'm feeling generous.
Not up to the standards of last year's Star Wars. Just a lot of battles. Not much plot. I was bored.
anyone that gave this a one had no appreciation of the original trilogy or never even saw the movie. An excellent movie that ties in perfectly with original trilogy. Best one since Empire strikes back.
I really wanted to like this one, but I couldn't get past the CGI Tarkin. As bad-acting and bad scripts have seemingly become an accepted flaw of Star Wars movies, the good acting moments such as Peter Cushing's Grand Moff Tarkin from Episode IV are treasured rarities to the Star Wars fan. Perhaps director, Gareth Edwards thought it would be clever to bring a CGI Tarkin into the movie. However I can think of a dozen real-life actors that could have pulled it off with fitting tribute to the late Peter Cushing, Charles Dance, Ralph Fiennes, Micheal Fassbender, heck, even Jared Leto .. Why not?
when will this all just stop??? :(
A fantastic Star Wars film. Beautifully shot. Amazing production design. Overall visually stunning. Great story.
I am a big Star Wars episode IV fan, the rest of the series I don't care for. This movie puts episode IV into a new perspective as it tells the story from the opening crawl. Who were they that stole the plans to the death star? This movie fills in that question perfectly and seamlessly.
I enjoyed this movie a lot. Very well done. Thought it was a cool twist on an already awesome franchise. Go see for yourself. Don't take my word or anyone else's.??
Great movie. Way better than Force Awakens and Episodes 1 to 3 (NO Jar-Jar this time). The people that rate this movie so low are not real Star Wars fans. The characters are interesting and does a nice job connecting it to Episode IV - A New Hope. Great job - Gareth Edwards and cast/crew.
This is definitely different in a great way than other StarWars movies
don't listen to the people giving it a low rating, I think their just mad because it doesn't have the same formula as the original trilogy does, instead u have new film like force awakens and rogue one giving it a different feel even if J.J. Abrams says he was playing it safe, was their flaws in this one like the other one of course but both are far from being awful movies and I think u would have to see it for your self to give your onion, for me I thought it was good and pretty much a different feel as that what the director was trying to do, for me I didn't like the being as I thought it was choppy and didn't like the font they used for rouge one, but hey that just me
It was pure b.s. from beginning to end. the force is not with this one.
Enjoyed this even more than Phantom Menace.
REALLY BAD MOVIE
Its definitely one of the best Starwars movie of all time
I was amazed reading some of the reviews that some of the movie viewers were "shocked" that this was a "get the death star" movie. OF COURSE IT IS. That's how it was written and advertised. Now you're shocked to find out? This is a movie that stands apart from Star Wars. Right from the opening salvo. Loved the special effects and the return of some Star Wars characters. If you are a Star Wars fan you will not be disappointed with this offering.
horrible movie. No plot, terrible writing, acting okay. Did not do the Star Wars trilogy justice at all. The last 2 movies have been horrible.
Another in a long line of hits! Great storyline to capture a new generation of Star War fans!
Another smash! Leave it to Disney to create a new storyline of an older series; Fantastic!
I AM REALLY DISAPPOINTED
I'm a fan of the old Star Wars and of Disney, but this one disappointed a lot. It was boring and the storyline was going nowhere, there are times you just get lost because it's all over the place. I was an hour into it and I was wondering when would it finish. I waited 30min more to see if it would pick up and it didn't, so I left. I usually never leave even when I don't like the movies. I don't understand all of the great reviews this movie has. Sure, it's beautiful to watch all the worlds and the characters but the movie itself was awful.
IT'S OK
